BASE CAMP Upgrade M Plus Dust Mask, Breathable Reusable Dust Face Mask with 6 Activated Carbon Filters, Air Filtration Mask for Smoke Dust Grinding Sanding Sawing Sweeping (2 Silver)

At first the mask was tugging down on my ears, but they provide an elastic strap that goes through each ear hole and across the crown of your head to prevent that. It is quite comfortable to wear, however it isn't exactly covid- friendly and I'll explain . It DOES filter in the air you breathe, it can only be drawn through the mask, which has I believe 5 or 6 layers including a replaceable carbon internal layer. Air cannot be drawn inward through those two ports on the mask, I put my mouth directly on them and tried because I was like wtf? But they have a rubber disc inside that seals them shut when you inhale. This is highly effective in preventing the wearer from contracting the virus. When you exhale however, the rubber disc in the vents is shifted to allow your breath the freedom to escape into the room without being even slightly filtered. If you have covid and no symptoms you will still be risking the people around you with potential life threatening illness. How I fixed this was tracing the rubber disc on to one of the extra carbon filters, and cutting it out, carefully taping the edges, and inserting it into the vent on top of the rubber layer. I still inhale filtered, comfortable air but now my exhale is responsible. It doesn't effect how comfortable the mask is either. The price is great, the masks are high quality and filter 99% over the n95 (which filters 95%) so that's great! It is so effective that it even effectively mutes odors. I will be purchasing again.

I just used it today due to the smoky air in Calif during wildfires... ugh. And I did not smell the smoke through the mask. I took the mask off and smelled smoke. Put the mask back on, no smoke smell! Yay! I had to shorten the ear straps to make it fit my head. I think these are made for man heads. Not women heads, which is kind of messed up. How about a woman head mask! We need to protect our lungs too!!! And how about making them in colors other than black? PROS: light comfortable (after I fixed the ear straps stays in place can breathe easily through it. it forms a seal once I press the nose piece in place but it doesn't make a mark or feel uncomfy no fogging up the glasses if I press the nose piece in place CONS: my head isn't a big ol' man head, so the strap around the back of my neck barely makes it to close, it's too long for women heads. but it does close and it does hold... it does get hot and my face does sweat under it, but that's okay, not a big deal. I am not suffocating. when I press the nose piece to form the seal, it does press on the sides of my nose a little and I do need to keep tugging at it from time to time to regain comfort. it's not a huge deal though. __ Overall... I like this mask. I think if it was more form-fitting for a FEMALE that would be awesome. Recommended? Yes. I bought this because I hated wearing the N95 mask for fire smoke. This one can be washed unlike the N95. And it's got 2 respirators and not just one. Nice! ******** UPDATE ********* Well, I've started using this mask because of the smokiness due to fires. And I can honestly say, this mask is great. I have since adapted it to my female head by adding a strap to the ear loops which are rather silly...they don't stay on because they have no elastic (thus the man vs woman head issue). So... I added this little strap and it goes up over my head and holds the mask in place perfectly. Then I velcro the back (which is still too big for my head, but it does close, just has a "tail"). It forms a seal and I can not smell any smoke at all. Even when it's quite hazy outdoors, I can't smell any smoke and after a while, I can breathe easily. My face sweats like crazy but it does that with an N95 too, so whatever. I'm very happy that this mask keeps my lungs clean! Love the dual breathing valves. They are more comfortable than an N95 mask. And I can wash this mask, and can't wash an N95, so that's awesome! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED And if you need to add a strap to the ear loops go ahead. Because it works great then.

To address certain questions you may have, I’ll clear a few things up. 1) They arrived 3 days after ordering. 2) They are good quality compared to the terrible ones we chose beforehand. 3) They fit great on me but way too big for my wife, even on the tightest setting. She’ll try and stitch the sides together to make it fit more snug. 4) The filters are just as good as disposable masks and the valves work perfectly. Absolutely no issues feeling vulnerable to airborne nasties. 5) The nose bridge is flexible and you can adjust it to the contour of your hooter easily. 6) It looks ok when worn, not something to feel embarrassed about wearing. 7) Comes with 5 filter pads each, unless you’re in a very dusty polluted environment, they should be good for over a week before changing. Unless you have a heavy cold, either way, it would be best to give them a quick spray with disinfectant every day or before wearing again. 8) There seems to be a few different sellers with varying prices for what appears to be the exact same mask, with varying reviews. I can’t speak for them, maybe they’re identical, I don’t know. The review is based on the ones I received from this listing. 9) I would have given them a five star rating if my wife didn’t have to do some sewing adjustments and “take them in”. 10) Cost wise, they’re not cheap cheap, but better than most and cheaper than what some are trying to sell them for. The breakdown on how I determine my star rating of a product… 5 stars – I love it! It is awesome and I highly recommend that everyone purchase this product! 4 stars – I like it. Not everything can be perfect! I would purchase again. 3 stars – It was okay, but I would probably not buy it again unless I had no other choices. 2 stars – There may be worse products out there, but you can definitely find better choices. 1 star – I dislike the product, I wish I had not purchased it and do not recommend anyone else to purchase it.

Extremely comfortable mask. The mesh that the mask is made out of is nice and lightweight but also seems very durable. Having the ability to change the N99 filters when you need to is nice as well. The filter changing process is super easy. The Velcro neck strap is a nice feature as well for two particular reasons. The first of which is that it takes some of the weight off of your ears. Usually when wearing A mask for an extended period of time, my ears would start to hurt. That isn't the case with this mask. The other plus to the strap is that you are able to pull the mask down when you don't need it, and it stays in a position that's easily accessible whenever you do. One of the biggest things I was concerned with when looking for a new mask was finding something that wouldn't fog up my glasses. I have to say that the vents built in make all the difference in the world. I've had almost zero issues with fogging, plus my face doesn't get hot and sweaty with the traditional cloth or disposable masks. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something comfortable, especially if you are looking for something to wear to protect yourself while you are being active. Finally just A side note for those reviews i read that complained about the mask being mesh and therefore not being able to protect you.... your entire mouth and nose are completely cover by the N99 filter which is housed inside the mask. You are literally protected from 99% of bacteria and dust because of the filter, not because of the material the mask itself is made of. Do not let those reviews make you think otherwise.

Seemed like a good idea, but just not convinced it keep out airborne dust. For it to be a good seal it takes a beating on your nose and still slides down with head movements. I also read that the filters become less effective when they get wet, and certainly they get wet with all the perspiring you do under one! I will be going back to the full respirator for big jobs and disposable dust masks for smaller benchtop jobs.

I had to order more than one of these masks. The inside carbon filter picks up a lot of dust while I am weed eating and mowing. The black outer dust mask is easily cleaned in your washing machine. You can take out the carbon filter you do need patience to put the valves back on. If the valves were bigger for older people that would be great! However I have put the mask back together again. Again this mask is great for Allergies especially when you are kicking up all that dust and dirt. It is comfortable easy to put around your ears and back of neck and attach Velcro. It is breathable and sweating will not easily make it fall off it hangs on tight to your face. I ordered more than one set. This is a great birthday or holiday gift for anyone that has to do any type of cleaning, wood working etc. Anyone would love this Dust Mask.

More comfortable and easier to use than many of my previous masks. The Velcro strap behind the neck is easy to put on and take off; even with anti-cut A1 gloves. I’m not using the ear hooks only the Velcro strap behind the neck—works great.

These base camp dust masks work really well and are very comfortable for long term wearing. They come with a generous amount of disposable pre filters that are made out of a high quality material that can actually be removed, washed, dried and used over again. Just be careful removing and replacing the one way valves that hold the prefilters in place as not to terror the masks material. ( If the manufacturer would heat seal the area around the holes this wouldn't be a problem.) The only other thing is that the velcro strap that goes around your neck could stand to be just a little bit longer. Would I buy this product again? Absolutely and without hesitation! I made the same comments as above on a YouTube off road video and the company that manufactures, these masks responded back about my concerns within minutes in the comment section. I believe they want their customers to be happy.

Good protection. Very comfortable

De los mejores cubreboccas, con repuestos lavables, y protegen muy bien del polvo.

used a few times since aquiring and is good

Masks don't fit well. The main issue with them is that the "ear loops" are not adjustable or have the appropriate length. That means the main band in the back is the main support. this puts a strain on the lower neck and gets uncomfortable. Either the fit is not well or the pressure is too hard Will never buy again!

My wife tried her mask out on our SxS and found it comfortable and effective in removing all the dust.
